Sid Kumins, Incorporated was founded in 1954 as a small, local builder working primarily in new residential construction to meet the needs of a growing Boston metropolitan community.  Sid Kumins, Inc. today is a much different company from its early beginnings in construction.  Advancements in technology, innovative construction solutions, and its ability to exceed customer expectations continue to define Sid Kumins Inc. today.  Presently, the company has over 200 construction projects in its portfolio ranging from single family residences to 150,000 sq. ft. shopping malls to the historic Beacon Hill's Charles Street Meeting House.

As the company grew, they gained more experience and skill in renovation and restoration especially with non-conforming structures.  Founder, Sid Kumins made a conscious decision to surround himself with people who enjoyed the challenges of working in this demanding area.  In 1970, Rod Gilbert joined Sid Kumins, Inc. to bring even more depth to the organization in working in historic restoration and renovation.  His expertise and drive led Sid Kumins, Inc. to focus more and more to solving tough construction challenges.  As Rod Gilbert says, “One of our greatest contributions is our experience and skill with non-conforming structures. In fact, little of our work is standard. Consequently, architects and developers tend to call us in very early in the planning and design stages, to contribute insights that could make a particular design a success rather than a headache.”
